Rear Blade End Plates?

[Navenjohnson]

Wondering if anybody uses these? I have a rear blade but can’t really justify buying a separate box blade. The blade is a land pride RB 1572. I’m not even sure how or if plates could be mounted on this.
Thanks.

I thought about this too and was sold on the idea until I priced them. Then I decided to build my own them priced the steel. I opted to wait and lucked up on a HD box blade that was cheaper than the endplates and a little more the building my own.
Now Guage wheels are still on my radar

Everything Attachments makes and sells end plates, for their 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blade.

Do you mean plates at the sides of the blade?

I used some scrap 1/4 mild steel plate roughly 12" square and tack welded them onto the sides of the curved blade (not the cutting edge). I put the blade on the tractor in the "level" position I wanted on my shop floor then 1" tack welded them on place. I can still break them off with a hammer if I ever want to remove them. I also added a pair of gauge wheels on the back in the same "level" position.

I find this does an excellent job of grading my driveway. No side spill. Hydraulic top link gives me excellent grade control with fine levelling, way better than using the 3PH lever.
